In addition to specific projects that employ digital tools, I am generally interested in digital archaeology and the ways that digital methods can revolutionize archaeological practice. I am particularly interested in field-based photogrammetry: in the method for performing it, the ways we use the resulting data, and how a reliance on this method of data collection impacts our perception of the archaeological record. I am also hoping to begin projects engaging with the digital publication of databases and monographs.
Reflexive Research
As noted above, my reflexive research is currently focused on photogrammetry—more specifically structure-from-motion (SfM) recording methods—and how their use impacts archaeological practice. I am also engaging with these questions as part of my current research on special features from Kaymakçı.
